RE: Pa Game Comm. Overhaul
"I know you will not accept the facts because they have been explained to you many times before but I also know that some of the other readers will get it and realize just how far out in left field you and your following are."
Sorry RSB. But those who see the sham for the sham it is are the "mainstream" and thehuge majority.The Far lefties are those who want the forest floor covered in a sea of trillium, and 6 bird nests in everybush.
"Therefore, hunter harvests is but one small part of the total deer population equation."
Ha ha ha. Not hardly. I agree there certainly are several factors and some significant, but there is nothing at all "SMALL" about the nearly million tags, and over a million doe tags we had in the recent past.
"The bottom line though comes back to the fact that in the areas where they hammer their deer populations they can sustain much high deer harvests annually then we can were we have always harvested very few antler less deer."
Not hardly. You speak of "sustained" harvests, but these harvest have not been sustained for long, and most show show declining trends, aside from someof the sras where the offlimits lands act as nucleus breeding grounds.
"Remember they are sustaining five year average harvests that are 4.55 times as high per square mile in the unit that is made up largely of city streets, shopping malls and housing developments as we are in a unit that is 90% with almost no roads let alone streets and malls. "
Five year averages in this instance are EXTREMELY out of line for this comparison as you are lumping together years of varying reduction. Most areas the herd is lower now than it was 5 years ago. Current years show where we are and where we are headed. To include 5 years prior and much higher herd level in with the mix is nothing more than poor attempt at camoflaging failure. You are also only comparing the absolute worst small portion of the state, with that of the highest deer densities and very worst access in the sras...
Neitherare indicative of the majority of the state which also felt the wrath of the pgc induced antlerless allocation carpet bombing.
